Your replies here are spot on. We entered the ER Tuesday Morning at 3 a.m., in pain. Registered, saw the triage nurse in 40 minutes. Waited another short while until a bed was available. Moved to a bed, preliminaries performed, seen by the doctor who was there at 5:30, cat scan at 6. Given pain med, rested until cat scan results proved nothing serious, leaving us with just a painful discomfort which was now subsiding. Discharged with prescription at 8 a.m. All things considered, a somewhat uncomfortable but efficient and professional experience.
